Admin Management & Platform Governance Dedicated "Admin Management" Group: Created an internal staff group with #general, #governance, and #admin-audit-log channels, auto-enrolling all admins, super-admins, and moderators. Separation of Admin Policies: Purged admin-specific rule broadcasts from the public C3 Social feed and routed them to the Admin Management and system channels.

Full Audit Trail Attribution: Restriction and ban audit logs now display both the Admin who lifted the restriction and the Admin who originally imposed it, along with reasons and timestamps. 4.
